Now that the researchers have shown that intercellular flow determines how tissues will adapt to physical forces, the results can be applied to understand a wide range of physiological conditions, ...

Watching and measuring what happens in tissues inside the human embryo is currently not possible, and it's difficult to do in mammalian models. Because humans and the fruit fly Drosophila share so ...

Water makes up around 60 percent of the human body. More than half of this water sloshes around inside the cells that make up organs and tissues. Much of the remaining water flows in the nooks and ...

Water makes up around 60% of the human body. More than half of this water is inside the cells that make up organs and tissues, and much of the remaining water flows in the spaces between cells. MIT ...

Drugs that are taken orally need to pass through the lining of the gastrointestinal (GI) to be taken up. Transporter proteins found on cells that line the GI tract help with this process, but for many ...

For patients with symptomatic coronary artery disease, the best course of action often involves implanting a drug-eluting stent into the artery where a plaque buildup is blocking blood flow to the ...

New York, NY--May 29, 2020--As embryos develop, tissues flow and reorganize dramatically on timescales as brief as minutes. This reorganization includes epithelial tissues that cover outer surfaces ...
